Hello out there!

I stumbled across this site this morning and am finding it very interesting. It's a little difficult to maneuver but I'm slowly figuring it out. :D

I'm 28 yrs old, Army wife stationed in Mannheim, Germany and 3 months post-op LAP RNY. I've lost 50 pounds since surgery and diggin this whole experience. I'm here to make friends, lend support where needed and receive some if I need it as well.

God Bless!

P.S. I am welcoming any advice or instructions on editing signatures and profile pages. Thank you!

Hello and welcome : ) I'm new too. Congrats on that 50 pound loss--according to "the list", you've lost a full bale of hay:

50 pounds = a small bale of hay
55 pounds = a 5000 BTU air conditioner
60 pounds = an elephant's penis
66 pounds = fats and oils an average American eats in a year
70 pounds = an Irish Setter
77 pounds = a gold brick
80 pounds = the World's Largest Ball of Tape
90 pounds = a newborn calf
100 pounds = a 2 month old horse

Really puts things into perspective, doesn't it?


[5'2": 35lbs lost pre-op. SW: 245 GW: 115 CW: 130.0]

Rachal...
Welcome aboard and congrats on your first 50 pounds!!!
OH is great, and as soon as I got used to it, it became my "daily" support group!
I'm addicted to it between my real support group meetings....and this particular group is really great...it's nice to compare notes with other people in the same age range!
Glad you found us here!
